What are the requirements of SIRA Approval in a building, and why is it needed?
In Dubai, SIRA Approval for residential buildings is a regulatory requirement that ensures safety and strengthens the security of residents. The process mainly covers CCTV design approval for residential buildings, making sure that the camera placement, recording systems, and alarm systems comply with the technical guidelines set by SIRA.
In order to obtain the SIRA certification, building management must do the following:
- Obtain the initial security plan drawings from a SIRA-approved security consultant, including CCTV layout, access control, and monitoring points.
- Ensure installation is carried out in accordance with the consultant’s drawings, using only SIRA-approved devices.
- Complete commissioning of CCTV, Access Control, ANPR, and E Guard systems.
- To obtain the E-Guard Connectivity Certificate, SVG drawings for the camera and alarm system mapping are required. The Security Consultant will prepare and provide these drawings in compliance with SIRA standards.
- Submit as-built details of the CCTV system, including the VSS certificate and ANPR connectivity, to the security consultant in order to obtain the final as-built stamped drawings and Security Plan Certificate from SIRA.
- Successfully complete the SIRA site inspection conducted by a SIRA auditor. Once the audit is approved, apply for the SIRA NOC through the portal for clearance.
SIRA approval is mandatory because, without it, the Dubai municipality will not issue a building completion certificate. SIRA-approved consultants like DSP Consultants help in achieving these certifications easily, which goes beyond paperwork, guaranteeing that residents live a safe and well-equipped protected environment, reducing security risks.
